When
Enlil
,
king
of
the
gods
,
great
lord
of
the
lands
,
at
Šamaš
with
his
features
excellent
looked
,
and
Sippar
,
his
ancient
cult
city
,
to
built
its
wall
,
the
Ebabbar
to
its
previous
condition
to
return
,
the
ziggurrat
'
s
high
terrace
lofty
its
head
like
the
heavens
to
raise
up
,
Šamaš
and
Aya
into
their
residence
sacred
in
joy
and
rejoicing
to
let
enter
,
with
his
utterance
which
cannot
be
altered
commanded
,
at
that
time
,
the
hero
,
youthful
Šamaš
-
for
the
great
destinies
which
Enlil
for
Sippar
and
the
Ebabbar
had
decreed
joyfylly
having
been
established
for
him—
Samsu-iluna
,
the
king
,
the
creation
of
his
hand
,
me
,
gladly
called
,
and
that
order
gave
me
.
At
that
time
,
the
totality
of
the
land
of
Sumer
and
Akkad
,
which
had
become
hostile
to
me
,
within
one
year
8
times
with
weapons
I
indeed
slaughtered
.
The
cities
of
those
hostile
to
me
into
mounds
and
ruins
I
indeed
turned
.
The
foundations
of
the
enemies
and
evil
ones
from
the
country
I
tore
out
.
The
whole
country
under
my
command
I
made
to
dwell
.
Since
the
distant
day
when
the
brickwork
of
the
Ebabbar
had
been
constructed
,
among
former
kings
no
king
had
been
favored
by
Šamaš
,
and
so
the
wall
of
Sippar
did
not
build
for
him
,
but
Samsu-iluna
,
the
beloved
of
Šamaš
and
Aya
,
the
mighty
king
,
king
of
Babylon
,
king
of
the
quarters
four
,
king
whose
decrees
with
Šamaš
and
Aya
find
favor
,
I—
at
the
command
of
Šamaš
and
Marduk
by
a
levy
of
the
army
of
my
land
in
the
middle
of
that
year
its
bricks
I
formed
,
the
wall
of
Sippar
like
a
great
mountain
I
raised
up
.
The
Ebabbar
I
renovated
,
their
ziggurrat
'
s
high
terrace
exalted
its
head
like
heaven
I
raised
.
Šamaš
,
Adda
and
Aya
into
their
residence
sacred
in
joy
and
rejoicing
I
caused
to
enter
.
To
the
Ebabbar
its
guardian
genius
favorable
I
returned
.
That
which
to
Šamaš
,
Adda
,
and
Aya
was
pleasing
I
did
.
The
command
of
Šamaš
and
Marduk
I
well
executed
.
That
wall
:
"
Šamaš
to
Samsu-iluna
has
given
dominion
,
power
and
life
"
is
its
name
For
this
,
Šamaš
,
the
one
raises
the
head
his
kingship
,
life
,
happiness
of
heart
everlasting
,
a
kingship
which
a
rival
has
none
,
a
scepter
of
justice
that
makes
secure
the
land
,
a
strong
weapon
that
slays
the
enemies
,
and
rule
over
the
quarters
four
to
exercise
forever
,
as
his
gift
he
gave
to
him
.
